I think Saturday is going to be a good guideline as to where we now are.
Quite often, when a team get an unexpected result like we did last week, they go and mess it up in the next game against easier opposition.
We did it last year after beating City, we went and lost at home to WBA.
Brighton seem to raise their game against us and were only beaten by a Dip penalty last week. They are hard to break down.
Let us hope Ole can keep the players focused and not get ahead of themselves after the superb recent run.

While we shouldn`t be taking brighton lightly, we ought to totally smoke them at home. New era, new manager.

No one has smoked Brighton in the league. Their biggest losing margin is by two goals. That has only happened four times.

Really? Reading and Newcastle were.

The Process probably missed those games.

I didn’t miss those. I meant in terms of the team we had out and the fact that we were at home.
Reading we had a make shift side out and Newcastle was a tough away game.
Huddersfield we were quite ordinary for a lot of that game.

So basically you are saying it wasn’t as good as against Bournemouth as that’s the only other one that fits the parameters you (didn’t) laid out. We still played well against Huddersfield anyway. We were in complete control and could have won by more.
Brighton haven’t taken a hammering this season. They are a well drilled outfit. Will be tough to break them down.

What I meant was taking the game into context it was probably the most disappointing performance.
We should be beating Brighton comfortably but football is a funny game.

they seemed to be playing for the 0-0 against liverpool.
very organized in defense but not much threat going forward.

Only if you discount Reading, Newcastle and Spurs, and Spurs was only poor for the last 30 minutes to be fair.

But you disregarded the others so it isn't.
